"Treaty of Nanking" is more common [1]. The official English text preumably used this romanization as well. --Jiang 10:52, 31 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- That's right. There was no Hanyu Pinyin at that time.--Jusjih 04:11, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Currency
Great Britain received 21 million dollars in compensation.
Was the transaction actually in dollars? --Calair 04:39, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
I noticed this too...My guess is it was copied from a American history book, the figure should be given in pounds instead--Josquius 17:53, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
- That was Chinese currency unit.--Jusjih 04:07, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] representatives

[edit] Imperialism
China is evil.The British brought Democracy and freedom to china.Free powder,me love you long time.--85.97.76.234 17:54, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
- China was a very enclosed country until Britain broke the enclosure. If Hong Kong was not taken by Britain, it might have been similar to other Chinese cities now. British Hong Kong and Japanese Formosa were both more advanced than China in history.--Jusjih 04:09, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
